As Legal Battles Swirl, Pray for Our Elections!
Did you know that, in this election cycle, Republicans have filed 72 lawsuits filed in the name of election integrity? That’s up from 41 lawsuits in the 2022 election cycle.
Connect with others in your state in prayer.
Election integrity has been a focus of Republicans for years. Since the 2020 election, it has become a more important focus. The GOP has promoted legislation and filed lawsuits in cities, counties, or states where the election process may be compromised.
Twelve of the 72 lawsuits involve voting by mail and voter registration. We have covered some of these cases on Headline Prayer. Voter registration, in particular, has been a key issue for Republicans, as many conservative lawmakers fought unsuccessfully earlier this year to pass legislation mandating proof of citizenship to vote.
While Republicans have seen some judicial wins for election integrity, they are fighting an uphill battle. The left has met them at every turn. defending against their legal challenges and issuing some of their own. IFA President/CEO Dave Kubal recently interviewed two legal experts about some of these challenges.
Additionally, Republicans have to compete with narratives and media that are biased against them. For example, the website Democracy Docket recently reported on these legal battles. However, it referred to the aforementioned 72 lawsuits not as important cases to protect our elections, but as an “all-out assault on voting rights.” With attacks like these, it can sometimes feel like conservatives have two options before them: give up on stopping fraud in our elections, or be smeared and targeted as an anti-voting-rights oppressor.
In such a tense and ever-shifting judicial, legal, and political landscape, it’s important that we do our part in the spiritual realm by praying.
How can I pray?
IFA has a host of resources dedicated to praying for our elections. For example, you can check our bookmark prayer guide for elections, our prayer guide for prayer walking for elections, or our prayer guide with action steps you can take to protect the vote. We’ve also launched PrayTheVote2024.org, a website where you can pray for Christians by name to get out and vote. Furthermore, we are hosting weekly webcasts every Wednesday at 12:15 pm ET, where believers can pray for our elections.
Additional prayer points on the legal battle to secure our elections:
- Pray for favorable trials. As Republicans fight for election integrity, they are often doing so in states that are not favorable to their side or their cause. Pray that God would soften the hearts of judges and jurors and that those fighting for secure elections would find favor in their sight.
- Pray for favorable coverage. Democracy Docket is not the only site covering this issue or showcasing these legal fights through an unabashedly anti-Republican lens. Pray that God will cut through the lies and that the media will report only the truth.
- Pray for favorable results. As these fights continue, pray that the Lord would allow those protecting our elections to prevail. Pray for favorable results that will result in safer and more secure elections across America.

“How can I pray?” Pray, pray, pray for justice.
Judges and Justice Deuteronomy 16:18-20
18You are to appoint judges and officials for your tribes in every town that the LORD your God is giving you. They are to judge the people with righteous judgment.
19Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
20Pursue justice, and justice alone, so that you may live, and you may possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
Psalm 50:6. CJB The heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God himself is Judge. (Selah)
Isaiah 30:18
Luke 18:6-8
John 5:22
Dear Heavenly Father, You are Judge of all creation. No one can reject Your decision when it is rendered. When You spoke of showing mercy to Israel, You said that You are waiting to show favor and will have pity from on high; for You are a God of Justice. Happy are all who wait for You! We are Your people Lord. We are waiting and call uponYou, The God of Justice, to show us favor in every battle Lord. Grant us justice and please do not delay. May we all pursue justice and justice alone in all the areas of our lives. I ask this and so much more in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen
Yes, Susan, I agree! Let righteous judgments and justice prevail, for that honors You!
Lord, I pray you would convict potential vote fraudsters of their evil in trying to steal this Country. Visit them with angels and the Holy Spirit and bring the fear of God upon them. Uncover fake ballot printing, storage, and shipment. Cause citizens and Law enforcement to be alert and help judges to not be intimidated by the Federal DOJ or Inspector Generals who hate and fear Trump. Help us, O God.
Amen and Amen Monte. May the Lord grant us your prayer.
Dear Lord
Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 🙏
Hear the prayers of Your children, Father. Have mercy on us! Please forgive us our sins and heal our land! We are a people of unclean lips. We have sinned by omission and commission. We have compromised faith to please people instead of You. The blood of the unborn cries out to You day and night! We have not sought You as we should. Please revive us, Lord! Bring truth and light to bear on hearts darkened by sin. Break out upon them! Bring justice to wrongdoers who plan evil for the righteous day and night. Free those oppressed by evil. We beg You to restore righteousness and justice to our land!
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, Amen.
Amen and Amen Laura Ryan. May the Lord grant us your prayer.
